Well, THAT was embarrassing...

I don't get embarrassed easily.  Really, I don't.  But, OMG, what I did this weekend was so embarrassing...

I took the kids to the mall and we parked right outside of Kohl's.  Same exact area I ALWAYS park when I go to Kohl's.  So we go in, do our thing, and leave.  So we walk right over to where we parked, very first spot in the row, and it's empty.  Totally empty.  So I'm like "guys, is this where we parked?"  They said, "yes, this is where we parked".  We ALL remember parking right in the very first spot right outside the doors.  So we took the time to walk around the lot a little bit, there weren't a ton of cars so I could see there wasn't another gray Accord to be found.  Ugh.  WTF?  Has my car been stolen?  "F@&k, my work computer was in the trunk!" I think to myself.  I ask the kids again, "ARE WE SURE WE PARKED RIGHT HERE?"  Everyone remembers parking RIGHT THERE!  In the empty spot.  Now I mention I have to call the cops and Jill completely panics.  She starts crying right then.  "Call Daddy, call daddy!"  (that girl cannot handle a stressful situation AT ALL!)  So I call Joe, no answer.  OK.  I see a police car driving through the parking lot and I flag him down. Tell him my sob story, and he asks "ARE YOU SURE YOU PARKED RIGHT THERE?"  Yes, we are ALL sure we parked right here.  So now HE flags down a security guard driving through the parking lot.  (By this time, I've gotten in touch with Joe and he is on his way to pick us up.)  The security guard says "get in, we'll drive around and look for the car".  So he turns the corner of Kohl's and I spot my car, right in the very first spot outside the doors of the OTHER Kohl's entrance.  Everything looked EXACTLY the same, it didn't even occur to me that maybe I was at the wrong entrance.  OMG.  I just almost died.  I apologized profusely and thanked him.  Then the cop car and Joe pull up to my car at pretty much the same exact moment.  I apologize profusely to the officer and thank him as well.  Joe is just sitting in his car laughing at me.  Every time I thought about it for the next 2 hours I couldn't help but laugh about it.  I felt like such an idiot...
